Biometrics applications: access to rights |
 |
Biometric technologies are increasingly used in order to control access to political rights, such as voting, welfare benefits, etc.
Identification cards with digitised fingerprints are being used in elector identification of voters in some countries (e.g. Mexico and Spain).
Biometric identification is also being introduced in national health care systems, as for example in the Canadian province of Ontario, in Los Angeles and Connecticut. Spain is developing a smart card for all welfare and pension benefits.

Bill Clinton
William J. Clinton (* 1946) studied law at Yale University, then taught at the University of Arkansas. He was elected Arkansas attorney general in 1976 and served as a governor until 1992. That year he became U.S.-President, the first democratic President after a row of Republicans. His sexual affairs not only cost him nearly his career but he also had to distract from his private affairs: he thought of fighting another war against  Saddam Hussein in February 1999. Short afterwards he had a more interesting enemy, Slobodan Milosevic - and the NATO was most willing to fight with him.
